Three or more persons, aside from suspended Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” A. Teves Jr., could be designated as “terrorists” for their role in the March 4 killings of Gov Roel R. Degamo and eight other persons in Pamplona town. “We are looking at three or four or five other people who may be considered part of the terror organization of Mr. Teves,” Remulla told journalists covering the Department of Justice (DOJ). He did not reveal their names. “They played pivotal roles in the plot that ensued, in what happened to Gov. Degamo,” he said. Meanwhile, Remulla said that investigators have found Teves’ helicopter that was allegedly used to help suspects escape from the scene of the crimes. He said the helicopter was secured in the hangar of Dumaguete City on the basis of a search warrant. “Nahanap na ‘yung chopper (The chopper has been found). It is going to be taken into custody. We are trying to get a pilot. We wrote the PNP (Philippine National Police) to provide us with a pilot so we can have the chopper under the safe keeping of the Philippine National Police or the military in Cebu,” he said. “I think a search warrant was issued to look at his helicopter which was used to transport many of the suspects after the fact. Nilikas sila mula Negros Oriental papunta sa Maguindanao. Ginamit ‘yung chopper kaya ito’y inisyuhan na ng warrant (The suspects were transported from Negros Oriental to Maguindanao. The chopper was used that’s why a search warrant was issued),” he explained. Remulla said he is convinced that the use of the chopper would only further fortify belief that Teves was indeed involved in the killing of Degamo. Teves has consistently denied the allegations against him in the Degamo slaying.  He is still abroad despite the expiration of his travel authority last March 9.
